Are Gamers Overwhelmingly Ignorant Sexists?

The video games industry
has a lot to answer for. In addition to perpetuating all sorts of horrible
practices in regards to violence and other offensive material, it’s
particularly bad about sexism. You’re probably nodding your head at this point,
thinking of all the times you’ve seen a video game portray female characters in
a negative light. That’s a good point, you think, it’s a good thing you’re not
part of the problem. Well guess what, asshole? You are DEAD WRONG.

I bet you find this
appealing, don’t you? The thought that anyone could enjoy this sickens me.

Every single one of you
gamers out there is part of the problem, whether you admit it or not. We live
in an age where women are objectified constantly, reaching down into the very
subconscious of games media. You don’t think girls can be gamers, you don’t
want to have to give up your childish and irresponsible sex objects, and these
thoughts are buried deep in your head whether your realize it or not! The
collective subconscious of gamer culture is so deeply ingrained you could even
be advocating for more positive portrayals of women in games and still be a
sexist, completely unaware of how awful and misogynistic you are!

The second Samus got
out of her power suit, she lost all credibility as a powerful female character.

Let’s get one thing
straight: Sex appeal is never empowering.
Some women have been brainwashed into thinking that females can be empowered by
shaking their asses about like strippers. They think that if they choose to
jiggle their genitals for all to see that it can be something that does
anything but set female rights back hundreds of years. The truth these
delusional people are trying to deny is that female sex appeal, no matter how
benign it may seem, all ties back into the overarching patriarchy that envelops
every part of our society without exception. And no matter how reluctant we are
to admit it, we risk ruining not just all of games but all of society with even
implicit acceptance of this system.

You all know what this
is for, but some of you have the audacity to call it empowerment, and that’s
disgusting.

So go ahead and continue
to live your life in denial. But the fact remains, you’re a horrible person and
unless you completely accept it, you’ll always be one. If you like games as
they are? You’re a sexist. If you enjoy sex appeal? You’re a sexist. If you
don’t take active participation towards removing all patriarchal overtones,
however slight, from games? Guess what, you’re a sexist. If you can’t all just
agree with this and help cease the horrific, animalistic behavior that all
gamers without exception perform or allow, then you are literally killing
gaming, and female rights to boot.
